Celebrity Diary;Kalu Ikeagwu writes; "When I'm Dying"

Not many people know that Nollywood actor Kalu Ikeagwu who plays "masters" on Mnet's Tinsel also writes and runs a blog,went on  bot of  hiatus but has returned recently..

Here's the latest post from his Blog

"When I die, bury me in a frozen lake of ice! Don’t mind me jare, I’m just mimicking 2 Chainz and Kanye’s song “Birthday Song” which I found very catchy, the beat that is. I just can’t bring myself to say “Bury me in a Gucci store” Seriously, is that the highest level we wish to attain, being buried in a famed tailor’s shop? I bow o. Maybe my ignorance is bliss given my deaf ears to lyrics of the songs I generally listen to, or does my subconscious mind pick up more than I am aware of? If they were lyrics about what to do with itches and gardening tools – for digging up yams - then yes, that I could understand and make good use of by playing role play romps with my significant other in the bedroom or the sitting room or maybe the kitchen while checking on the muffins or boli (grilled or baked semi ripe plantain) in the oven, or, wait for it, shut up in the boot of the car! See why I love writing? It sometimes dredges up things you never knew lurked in the recesses of your mind. Two things I’d have to keep handy to safely accomplish that feat though: my car keys (remote car locks of course) and a sound theme of a large dog’s bark to be activated in the very likely event of an attempted car theft Hmm, stringy meat to chew on another day. My meat for today is yes, a little off the beaten track but no less important to yours truly, the way I would like to die.

My Top Ten Most Underrated Nollywood Actors..

Nollywood is Nigeria's film Industry,supossedly the 2nd or 3rd  largest producer of films in the world!

Nollywood churns out a lot of movies I mean alooooooooooot! I mean there was a time I wrote down a list of  movies that were to be released in a week and that I would watch them but I couldn't just keep up because the next week another set of maybe another 30 were again released into the market.

 I guess I have accepted that I cannot catch up with every Nollywood Film. :(

Not to digress, I have noticed some fantastic actors whom in my opinion have been very underrated in terms of their craft and mainstream acceptance..

And ermmm in the light of "Lists" causing problems these days I do not mean any disrespect,I am just simply saying you all deserve more for your craft!

 So Leggo!

1) BIMBO MANUEL

Bimbo is a veteran, a fantastic actor in all rights!  I am not sure if its is a personal decision of his to appear in few productions but I do not think he is given all the prominence that he deserves. Bimbo is one of the actors I want to see more of. 

2) SAM DEDE

I still remember sam Dede from the Movie "Issakaba" I wasnt so bothered when the movie had about 4 parts.. I wanted to watch it all..

Sam Dede came from a lecturing Background into Nollywood,which he has reportedly returned to.. 

He is one of the greats and I believe he deserves much more credit.

3) GBENGA RICHARDS

I havent seen alot of Gbenga Richards in Movies,I know he's been in a couple of series like mirror in the sun, and lots of movies,but it seems his capacity is very much under utilized. I hope Nollywood can take note and utilize more actors stop with the recycling already!.

4) FEMI BRANCH

I first  noticed Femi's work on the soap "Domino" and I was looking forward to very big things for him,but he seems to have just been stereotyped into acting loverboy in most Yoruba films..

 I sincerely think his talent is largely underrated.

5) KALU IKEAGWU

Kalu I also noticed his craft from series' like Domino,Tinsel and the likes.

I don't think he has been "mainstreamlised" 

Dear Nollywood stop underestimating your talents
